upon request, during that period;

    (b) Have each of those affidavits and payrolls examined by its 

resident engineer (or any other of its employees or agents who are 

qualified to make the necessary determinations), as soon as possible 

after receiving it, to the extent necessary to determine whether the 

contractor is complying with the labor provisions required by Sec. 

151.49 and particularly with respect to whether the contractor's 

employees are correctly classified;

    (c) Have investigations made during the performance of work under 

the contract, to the extent necessary to determine whether the 

contractor is complying with those labor provisions, particularly with 

respect to whether the contractor's employees are correctly classified, 

including in the investigations, interviews with employees and 

examinations of payroll information at the work site by the sponsor's 

resident engineer (or any other of its employees or agents who are 

qualified to make the necessary determinations); and

    (d) Keep the Area Manager fully advised of all examinations and 

investigations made under this section, all determinations made on the 

basis of those examinations and investigations, and all efforts made to 

obtain compliance with the labor provisions of the contract.



For the purposes of paragraph (c) of this section, the sponsor shall 

give priority to complaints of alleged violations, and shall treat as 

confidential any written or oral statements made by any employee. The 

sponsor may not disclose an employee's statement to a contractor without
